    Default Ouachita report


    I was out on the lake thinking about my last thread; I sounded like a griping old man. So I apologize to the board and my family.
    I got home about 6:30 PM and all of the camoping stuff was sitting in the driveway ready for me to load. The wife and grand kids were waiting for me in lawnchairs and announced we were going to the lake NOW!! I protested that we would be hours driving and setting up camp. My concerns fell on deaf ears. Sure enough, by the time we drove to the lake, searched for a suitable island by boat (in the dark), it was 10:30. We had to have a special place with small rocks or gravel on the bank so the kids could play with their buckets. All 5 of the spots I suggested and showed failed to meet the requirements set forth by my wife. Finally, I remembered a hunting camp. I really don't like camping on the mainland. You could have bears or all kinds of critters in your camp, so I was careful to put all of the edibles inside. Sure enough, about an hour of sleep, my wife starts punching me and telling me "something was in our tent". I shined the light up in the corner and there he was; Rocky Racoon had tore a hole in our tent and was sitting there eating a hot dog bun and he wasn't bashful either. I had to hit him with a shoe to make him leave. And you can guess what happened then. We moved to an island in the middle of the night.
    If you recall, we had a similar incident last year. Maybe one of these years I will have a say so in where we camp.

    PS
    I caught some really nice bull bream on black roostertails. I think they are still bedded.

    DP, you have been married long enough to know that you need to convince her that it was "HER" idea to camp on the island...

    One of my wedding vows was "Heather, you're probably right..."

    I had a techincal issue at work a month or two back and couldn't find the answer anywhere..so..being the creative thinker that I am, decided to call my wife and ask her. She said "I have no idea" and I said "Well, I figured you knew the answer cuz you seem to know everything else!" Needless to say, I shouldn't have done that. :rolleyes:

    Exactly Allen!!
    Mine was raising "you know what at me" about the way I rolled up the tent the last time I used it at Crappie Camp. I didn't sweep it out because I didn't know I got it dirty. Then she made me help her put it away while showing me how to do it just right. I thought I would make her feel good by bragging on how good she was at it and how I always wished I could do it like that. That didn't make her happy neither. I wished I would have had CEB on that trip so he could see how they act once the "new" wears off.
